P. Wightii, Reichb. in Bot. Zeit. 1862, 214, e Peninsula Indica, est, nobis Doritis species, ut videtur 
eadem ae 4erides latifolia, Thw., e Zeylania. Planta Parishiana a Reichb. f. in Trans. Linn. Soc. 
xxx. 135, ad P. Wightii relata vix eadem videtur, rhachi leviter inerassata dum in P. WigAtii tenuis 
est. Flores tamen examinare nequivimus et folia in speeimine nostro desunt.

Speeies nobis notw 5, Indis Orientalis et, Archipelagi Malayani incoli, in sectiones 2 sequentes 
distribuendz :— 
1. Eudoritis. Folia rigidula. Seapus longus, simplex. Hue species typica Cochinchinensis, eui 
addidit Reiehb. f. Xen. Orch. ii. 7, Dendrobium bifalee, Lindl. in Benth. Bot. Sulph. 181, t. 58, e 
Nova Guinea, quod ex icone Lindleyana quoad perianthii formam bene convenit, sed aeumen 
longum rostelli, in D. pulcherrima insigne, omnino deesse videtur. Specimina utriusque speciei in 
Herb. Kew. servata valde manca sunt. 
2. Carteretia, Folia tenuiora, in caule inter radices aerias numerosas vix evoluto pauca v. per 
anthesin omnino deficientia. Scapus laxe panieulato-ramosus v. (interdum in eadem specie) abbre- 
viatus simplexque. Hue pertinent CamrzmETIA panicwata, A. Rich. Sert. Astrol. 10, t. 4, e Nova 
Guinea; A4erides latifolia, Thw. Enum. Pl. Zeyl. 429, e Zeylania; Phalenopsis Wightii, Reichb. f., e 
Peninsula Indica, vix ab Aeride latifolia distincta ; et Aerides teniale, Lindl., Griff. Ic. Pl. As. t. 338 
A, e Napalia et, Khasya. 
186. Rhynehostylis, Blume, Bijdr. 285, t. 49.—8Sepala subsquilonga, inter se libera, 
patentia, lateralia postico latiora, pedi colummnze affixa. Labellum ad apicem pedis 
columns affixum, basi profunde saccatum; lobi laterales obsoleti, medius supra saccum 
longe angustatum, apice inflexum, linguiforme v. obovatum. Columna brevis, crassa, 
semiteres, exalata, basi in pedem producta; clinandrium brevissimum, integrum ; rostellum 
crassiusculum, antice supra stigma prominens. Anthera terminalis, opercularis, incumbens, 
semiglobosa, imperfecte 2-locularis ; pollinia 2, cerea, subglobosa, sulcata v. fere 2-partita, 
inappendiculata, anthera dehiscente stipiti longo filiformi affixa, glandula parva sub- 
membranacea. Capsula oblonga v. subclavata, erostris, erecta v. patens, costis acute 
prominulis, interd balatis.—Herbze epiphyticse, caulibus foliatis non pseudobulbosis. 
Folia disticha, coriacea v. carnosa, plana, vaginis persistentibus caulem obtegentibus. 
Racemi laterales, longi, densiflori, floribus majusculis v. mediocribus breviter p dicellati; 
Bractese parve.
